The Artemis III Crew That Isn't Going To The Moon

NASA just named the four astronauts who'll fly the most complex human spaceflight in decades — a mission that takes three rockets, three spacecraft, and two dockings to pull off. And no, they're not landing on the Moon. That changed in February, when NASA moved the lunar landing to Artemis IV, turning Artemis III into a test flight to rehearse docking with the lunar landers in Earth orbit. Meet the Artemis III crew: Commander Randy Bresnik, ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano of Italy, Frank Rubio, and Andre Douglas. I break down why NASA chose these four, the Blue Origin and SpaceX hardware that has to work in sync, and the question everyone's asking: why are there no women on this crew? Stick around for my call on who flies Artemis IV — the mission that actually lands. Who do you think should fly Artemis IV?
